This morning, you start your safari by driving through the dramatic Great Rift Valley to the Masai Mara National Reserve. This enormous reserve is actually part of the vast Serengeti plains famously known for its spectacular great wildebeest’s migration and is home to the Big Five: lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and rhino. Lunch at the lodge and you will have the chance to relax before departing for the afternoon game run. The Masai Mara National Reserve is one of the greatest wildernesses in the world. Large mammals are varied and easy to see. Residents of the park are Masai giraffe, buffalo, eland, and thousands of plains game including impala, zebra, topi, both Thomson’s and Grant's gazelles.
